Based on this I would conclude that: - your patch fixes the problem I had - there may be something wrong in <2.6.27.13, but it's ok in .13+ - I finnaly have some tcpdumps from the server concerning the first problematic client, I will try to extract interesting packets and send it here if you or someone else can find anything helpfull there. With .14 the client runs much better anyway staying alive for 3 days instead of 6-10hours as with .10 Thank you for your support. -- Tomas Kasparek, PhD student E-mail: kasparek@xxxxxxxxxxxx CVT FIT VUT Brno, L127 Web: http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~kasparek Bozetechova 1, 612 66 Fax: +420 54114-1270 Brno, Czech Republic Phone: +420 54114-1220 jabber: tomas.kasparek@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 2F1E 1AAF FD3B CFA3 1537 63BD DCBE 18FF A035 53BC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
